FREE STATE STAY ON FORM

FREE State kept up their excellent Bankfin Currie Cup form when they made it four victories from four matches in an action-packed weekend’s rugby which left the Cheetahs alone at the top of the log. Two Springbok veterans — loosehead prop Os du Randt and centre Brendan Venter — starred as Free State took the Lions apart at Ellis Park and ran out 23-14 winners on Saturday. Du Randt weighed in with an all-action performance. Apart from being a menacing figure in the scrums, he got around the park quickly and answered any questions about his fitness.
